Ethiopian Restaurants near Clarkston, GA

“The owner is very friendly, always welcome us with smile and treat us like a family. It feels like we are going to friend’s house to have quality time. The place is cozy and quite to enjoy some quality time eating delicious Ethiopian and American dishes and drinking strong Ethiopian coffee made with love. The price is very reasonable.“

“We had a family dinner there, just delicious. The kitfo, cottage cheese on the side (Heated Tiny shredded Cubes of Beef drenched in Spicy Butter) and the Lega Tibs (Sauteed and Cooked Lamb meat w/veggies and the QiQil (Spicy Stew of bone in Lamb Meat). All serve with Enjera. Expect a laid back environment, it is not a shortage of service, that is the culture :-)“

“This place is a STAPLE!!! The food is annoyingly good (I literally was SO full and was still taking little bites), and the service was amazing!!! Please stop by and get the Meat Lovers with Lamb, Chicken, and Ribeye. Oh, and get the Lemon Cake! You’re welcome :)“

“I got the veggie platter. The food was so tasty! Tastes like authentic ethiopian! Real teff injera. Real shiro. The shiro here tasted amazing unlike other ethiopian restaurants here. The owner is so nice. I wish her the best success because she deserves it!“

“Embilta is my favorite kind of restaurant because restaurants are about FOOD and Embilta’s food is EXTRAORDINARY

I got an Embilta Special Large to go… and I think I flooded my car on the drive home salivating oh my oh myyyyyyy the smells

the woman working was as sweet as could be, and I can’t wait to see her again when I order my next round (or when I ask her to cater my wedding)“

“This dining establishment stands out for its excellent service and generous portions of delicious food. The receptionists are particularly friendly and welcoming. This place authentically represents Ethiopian cuisine, and I truly enjoy our experiences here; it has become one of our favorite spots.“

“This was our first time trying Ethiopian food and it won’t be our last! What a delicious and fun experience. Apparently they slaughter their own meat! And if you are vegetarian, there are plenty of options for you too :) can’t wait to come back someday“

“This honestly is probably the best and most authentic place for Ethiopian food in Atlanta. I've been coming here for years and the food and service is always top tier, regardless if you're dining in taking out.
Their kitfo is incredible as well as their shiro, never disappoints. If you haven't been here yet, make it your next stop!“

“I needed a last-minute cake, something special, and most bakeries close early. So I headed over to the Queen of Sheba, which google maps promised would have cakes until 8. But they didn't have the flavor requested! Disaster. A customer said tiramisu was a house specialty, and the young lady behind the counter agreed that it was her favorite. Even though tiramisu is a gamble with a new crowd, I went for it. It was one of the most delicious, perfect cakes I've ever had. That any of us had ever had. It's what all other tiramisu wishes it could be. Good price, too. I 100% will get my next cake there.“

“Go for Stone Mountain, and stay for Ethiopian coffee and stews.

Honestly, I came to the area to pick up some furniture across the street for my 3yo... but this drive is worth the 30-minute drive.

In my experience, Ethiopian food is always cooked fresh... so everything takes at least 20 minutes to make. Luckily tigi made me a sambusa for free to munch on as I waited.

The beef stew was amazing, the injera was cooked fresh and perfect, and the coffee came with natural gum on hot charcoal which acts as an incense that smells a bit like eucalyptus.

Tigi is a gem.

Don't forget though that this is a catering service that has a food truck! Weddings, birthdays, christenings... don't worry, she can easily handle 300 people at a time.“

“This is THE best Ethiopian food in Atlanta. We really like the other place too but the food here is just SO GOOD. Made my heart and soul feel warm and happy. Can’t wait to go back!

Vegetarian options: The veggie platter is one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever eaten“

“The food is so amazing and the owner is very kind and respectful.“

“Best Ethiopian food in Atlanta! I’ve tried other restaurants and the dishes from Abol are consistently better (both in portion size and taste). My personal favorites are the Shiro and veggie platter. They accommodate vegan restrictions, too ♥️“

“the best food“

“Great food, I enjoyed their dishes. Thank you“

“I briefly visited the place for lunch. Really enjoyed the taste of King fish and Zarruq meat dish with rice. They have a special orange drink which is combination of soda with some spices. I would recommend visiting and enjoying the taste of African food. Staff is nice but environment can be improved.“

“We arrived at this restaurant for a meeting. my friend recommended this restaurant. Well, it was very nice. the staff were so friendly and we felt excellent. The food was just great. We loved this place very much and we will definitely return to this restaurant. we highly recommend this place.“

“Every time I come to this place I feel like I’m home (even though I’m not Ethiopian!)

It’s so cozy, small, comfortable! The people who work here are so warm and genuine! They treat you more like a guest and less like a customer, and are very sincere with their recommendations!

Love it!!

Vegetarian options: I got the Vegi Platter which is collard greens, lentils and potatoes (four curries) with injeer. Love it!!!“

“leftovers are good, too.“
